How to play Ripple Timing
Notice the moment the moving pulse meets the marked space. Watch the moving pulse and tap when it reaches the marked target zone. This visual timing round can be played without sound and invites a small, deliberate moment.
Your starting point
Notice the moment the moving pulse meets the marked space.
The rules
Watch the pulse move and tap when it reaches the marked target zone. For still play, choose calm mode and select the percentage where the marker appears.
A helpful approach
Watch a little of the movement before tapping. Use the visible target zone as your cue; calm mode offers still markers, and sound is not required. Look for a shape, texture or change you can describe before trying to explain what it means.
After the game
What did you notice during the wait before choosing the moment to tap? Which familiar thing might surprise you if you gave it a second, more attentive look today?
There is no need to turn a small moment into a perfect performance. Play again if you want to explore it, or leave it here and take the thought into your day.
The feeling behind it
Look closely at a leaf, a cloud or a familiar street. Wonder starts with attention and leaves room for questions.
Cherry-blossom viewing inspires attentive looking. Hanami is a seasonal practice, not the Japanese equivalent of wonder.
